I joined a few years back and haven't really posted for quite awhile. Well, I got the bug, and decided to finally buy my first handgun. I came back to this board and started looking over the classifieds. Lots of glocks, lots of springfields, lots of taurus, and so on. Not very many FN handguns. And I took that as most FN owners want to keep them (whether that was right or not, who knows?). One of the ones I did see was gorgeous, FNP USG 9 in dark earth, but the owner was not willing to sell it. Only trades. Only saw one other in the first several pages.
Anyhow, not sure how how orthodox that method is, but that's what I went with. So after doing alot more reading on here and on other boards and watching a few videos on youtube, I decided on the FNX 40. The ambidextrous controls and decocking levers and external hammer are what sold me on it. Put it on layaway a couple weeks ago just to "commit" myself, and picked it up today at Plainfield SS.
I hope I made the right decision. It feels GREAT. Anyone else own one? Opinions?
My sister and her fiance will be in town this weekend. She is a Captain, West Point grad, and he is also a Captain and pilot. Looking to take them to the range and give this gun a go.
